I remember when Twitter was still young and everything hadn't been done to death on it and timelines made sense ... and there was a movement to write "Twitter novels." Only writing a story in 140 character bursts was LITERAL TORTURE. I tried it. It sucked. Apparently big in Japan though.
Anyway, wondering if this little 500-word microburst format wouldn't be a much better choice for such a venture. I can write freaking paragraphs in this space.
@AlisonHudson I definitely like having more characters. The Twitter limit needs increasing, but not to something absurd like ten thousand. 500 is probably a good number.
@hmich176 I'm not sure. It almost feels too loosy-goosey for a qucik-burst social media platform. But then. anything is going to feel loose after the tyranny of 140 characters.
